Medium: | ATCC® Medium 1174: DA medium |
Growth Conditions: | Max Temperature: 25.0°C Min Temperature: 20.0°C |
Cryopreservation: | 1. xa0 Prepare a 5% (v/v) sterile methanol solution in fresh ATCC medium 1174 without agar.xa0 2.xa0xa0 Harvest cells from a culture which is at or near peak density by adding 3.0 ml methanol solution to the slant and washing cells into suspension. 3. Adjust the concentration of cells to 2 x 106/ml with fresh methanol solution. 4.xa0 Dispense in 0.5 ml aliquots into 1.0 - 2.0 ml sterile plastic screw-capped cryules (special plastic vials for cryopreservation).xa0 The time from mixing of the cell preparation and the methanol solution, before the cooling cycle begins, should be no greater than 15 min. 6.xa0xa0 Place vials in a controlled rate freezing unit. From room temperature cool at -1°C/min to -40°C. If freezing unit can compensate for the heat of fusion, maintain rate at -1 C/min through heat of fusion. At -40°C plunge ampules into liquid nitrogen. Alternatively, place the vials in a Nalgene 1°C freezing apparatus.xa0 Place the apparatus at -80°C for 1.5 to 2 hours and then plunge ampules into liquid nitrogen.xa0 (The cooling rate in this apparatus is approximately -1°C/min.) xa0xa0 7. Store ampules in either the vapor or liquid phase of a nitrogen refrigerator. Frozen preparations stored below xa0xa0xa0 xa0-130°C are stabile indefinitely. Those stored at temperatures above -130°C are progressively less stabile as the storage temperature is elevated.xa0 Shelf life must be determined empirically for storage temperatures above -130°C. 8.xa0xa0 To establish a culture from the frozen state place an ampule in a water bath set at 35°C. Immerse the vial to a level just above the surface of the frozen material. Do not agitate the vial. 9.xa0xa0 Immediately after thawing, do not leave in the water bath, aseptically remove the contents of the ampule and add to a centrifuge tube containing 5 ml of ATCC medium 1174 without agar.xa0 Centrifuge at 300 x g for 5 min. 10.Remove most of the supernatant and then resuspend the pellet.xa0 Place culture on ATCC medium 1174 slants and incubate on a 15° horizontal slant at 50-100 µEinsteins/m2/s irradiance at 25°C.xa0 Maintain under a 14/10 h light-dark photoperiod. |
